Carbon Capture Utilization & Sequestration

RESPEC knows industries, governments, and individual companies are being asked to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide. As global conversations around mitigation efforts have intensified and governments implement decarbonization incentive programs, the importance of carbon capture utilization and sequestration (CCUS) has come to the forefront. RESPEC has the experience and ability to guide you through the CCUS process to make your project a success.

Our project experience spans twenty active projects in ten states, three provinces, and involving seven regulatory agencies.

Our geologists, engineers, and drilling experts are skilled and experienced in

  • Geological engineering focused on reservoir engineering
  • Geothermal resource assessment
  • Project development strategies
  • Analyzing and modeling of reservoirs and seals for CO2 sequestration
  • Water disposal
  • Hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation
  • Induced seismicity
  • Reservoir containment
  • Stability of faults and fractures
  • Optimization of wells and reservoirs
  • Numerical modeling of subsurface processes
  • Groundwater flow and transport
  • Thermal energy storage
  • Model optimization
  • Uncertainty quantification
  • Geological structure modeling
  • Characterizing geological parameters by integrating pressure data
  • Quantifying the uncertainty of predictions
  • Drilling, mining, petroleum, and geotechnical studies
  • Drilling management and well engineering
  • Well design, permitting/regulatory coordination, drilling cost estimates, and subcontractor management

From wellhead to reservoir, we will work to ensure safe carbon sequestration.

Like you, RESPEC operates with sustainability in mind. We know your goal is to reach net-zero. CCUS projects are the way to go. We’re ready to help you respond to the rising need for decarbonization and usher in a cleaner world for future generations.

By leveraging our experience across numerous basins within North America, RESPEC's geologists and scientists help identify formations that have the potential for CO2 injection. RESPEC applies a holistic approach to our geologic investigations. No stone is left unturned. We incorporate offset well information, seismic data, and other geologic information to properly site CCUS projects for the best outcome.

 

 

RESPEC has extensive reservoir engineering and simulation experience. We use multiple CO2-capable simulators– GMG-GEM, TOUGH3, and ECLIPSE– to meet regulatory requests. We use cloud solutions and internal high performance computing clusters to solve large problems efficiently. RESPEC developed a step-wise simulation process that offers our clients the best solutions to meet project goals with the least cost and time. Our engineers use these simulators to evaluate injection pressures and well designs and analyze plume migration, confining zone geomechanics, and potential induced seismicity. The result is a sequestration program design that meets our clients’ disposal volume goals and ensures a successful permitting and engineering outcome.

 

 

RESPEC has successfully submitted EPA UIC Class VI well permits and understands the application components, requirements, and critical timelines required. Our experience across multiple regulatory regions, states, and provinces gives us an understanding and ability to adapt to specific requests as expectations may differ from region to region. Our engineers and scientists work with stakeholders to ensure that CCUS permitting goes smoothly. After receiving regulatory approval, RESPEC provides engineering support during the planning and development stage on the course to getting a CCUS project operational.

 

 

RESPEC provides a wide range of drilling and completion services for CO2 injection projects. We tailor our services to the specific project and location needs and specialize in wells that require expertise that typical consulting companies might not have. Our Drilling and Completions (D&C) team has designed innovative horizontal CO2 injection wells in challenging geologic environments. Through the combined experience of our Reservoir and D&C teams, we design and implement appropriate monitoring solutions to ensure the long-term success of CCUS projects.
